I would find my local Rust Check (or Krown) dealer and
buy a bottle of their stuff and dab a bit on the rust spot
every month or so.  If you want to fix it, may auto places
(we have Canadian Tire) sell a kit the fits on the end of a
drill and you can buff out the rust spot, use a "Rust
Converter product then carefully spray paint an anti-rust
primer then a top coat.  Practice on something else to
get a feel for it.   M2CW - this is what I do on my small
rust spots.  While I have your attention, be sure to get
the ENTIRE van rust proofed every year - it really works
up here in Canada's east coast.
